Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cheese and Garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure the potatoes don’t stick.
- Toss Potatoes with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Add Parmesan Cheese to Baking Sheet: Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the bottom of the prepared baking sheet, creating a flavorful crust layer for the potatoes.
- Arrange Potatoes on Cheese: Place the seasoned potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on top of the Parmesan cheese. Gently press the potatoes into the cheese to help it adhere and form a crispy crust during baking.
- Bake until Golden and Crisp: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and crisp, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Carefully loosen them from the baking sheet with a spatula, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- For best results, avoid moving the potatoes during baking to allow the Parmesan crust to properly stick and crisp up.
- Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce to enhance the flavor.
- Use fresh Parmesan for optimal flavor and crispiness.
